This PS program looks
This PS program looks pretty promising (and amazingly like HSing). But, we all know that HSing doesn’t work. Or at least that’s what the NEA keeps telling us.
Breaking away from the typical high school experience, they both opted for a one-hour weekly meeting with a teacher, a pile of homework and a chance for success that rested on their shoulders alone.
They traded in the hallways buzzing with the latest gossip, spirited pep rallies and the usual school schedule for an alternative education program — independent study.
Independent study is a growing option. Through the accredited program, students are required to check in with their teachers once a week for an hour or so. The teacher assigns them work to complete on their own. When the student returns the next week, the teacher corrects the work, discusses the material and makes assignments for the following week.
